Confessions of Georgia Nicolson
by Louise RennisonIn the spirit of Bridget Jones' Diary, this fresh, irreverent, and simply hilarious book will leave you laughing out loud.
Angus: My mixed-breed cat, half domestic tabby, half Scottish wildcat.
The size of a small Labrador, only mad. Likes to stalk Mr. and Mrs. Next Door's
poodle. I used to drag him around on a lead, but, as I explained to Mrs. Next
Door, he ate it.
Thongs: Stupid underwear worn by old Swotty Knickers, Lindsay What's
the point of them, anyway? They just go up your bum, as far as I can tell.
Full-Frontal Snogging: Kissing with the trimmings, lip to lip, open
mouth, tongues...everything (apart from dribble, which is never acceptable). As
taught to me by a professional snogger.
In this wildly funny journal of a year in the life of Georgia Nicolson,
British author Louise Rennison has perfectly captured the soaring joys and
bottomless angst of being a teenager. In the spirit of Bridget Jones' Diary,
this fresh, irreverent, and simply hilarious book will leave you laughing out
loud. As Georgia would say, it's "Fabbity fab fab!"
(This book was first published in the UK with the title It's Okay, I'm Wearing Really Big Knickers)
